That was cool, but one of those sirens was really creepy and annoying. Who is the savior and what did he do for Turkey?

I remember when I went to Turkey on vacations (beautiful country) that people respect Ataturk a lot.

You saw him everywhere and people really look up to him.

Very interesting, I know very little things about Turkey, but after reading a bit, it seems like he was an amazing leader.
And the fact that most people never saw him, demonstrate how strong is his legacy.

Yeah, he's basically the guy who saved our country and brought modernity. :)

He was the driving force behind the Young Turk movement which arose in the Ottoman Empire before the First World War and advocated for modernization/revitilization of the empire that was known as "The Sick Man of Europe" (forgetting that Europe had three "sick men" at the time, Russia and Austria were tottering as well). Ataturk helped usher out the monarchy when the Ottomans lost World War I, defended the country from a joint Greek/British/French/Caucasian effort to destroy Turkey after the first world war, then went on to enforce secularization, flipped their country off of the Arabic alphabet and onto the Roman one, and brought the first democracy to the near East

Just don't ever mention the word Armenia.
